Maybe it's just me, but I'm partially impressed and partially confused by your self-control here. I would have reraised the turn, probably quite big with the 2 flush draws out there. I probably would have gotten broke on this hand.

The way it played out, though, he didn't quite make the implied odds for his flop call. $2 in the pot + $8.50 more he made from you = $10.50 total. He called $1 on a 1-in-11.75 draw. So he was only short by $0.25.

Did you not raise the turn because of the possible straight and sets out there?

Well, even though he was drawing to a gut shot, I had been agressive througout the hand. When he re-raised me the minimum amount it smelt like a trap to me and I went into cheap showdown mode.

Had he over-bet the pot or re-raised me a real amount that wasn't begging for a call I would have gone broke on the turn.

I guess something was just fishy about the turn bet so I just called/called.

The turn is a make card, and you got raised on it as you caught two pair. Cheap showdown mode all day. Well done.

It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

You called a limp with KJo from mid position. It was always going to end in tears.

I have a hard time with this hand.

I don't like to raise with it from mid position because it is so weak, but I don't like to just toss it because it can make a pretty decent top pair, and even a brodway straight.

What do you guys usually do with it from mid to late position?

This hand was leaking money for me according to poker tracker before I plugged it. Now I only limp, and if I raise with it I only raise from the button. I'm usually quite happy to let it go if I'm not happy with the flop and there's too much action...
